Antique Questions Forum / Help with lace tablecloths and placemats

« on: January 22, 2012, 10:33:46 pm »

Well everyone is so helpfull and understanding here and helping me raise some money for my mothers medical and funeral so
I have a few more items and here are 3 of them. The pics show 3 items. The first is a tablecloth that is lace but is it old or how do I tell or is it home made recently. The second is another tablecloth but a different pattern and wondering the same. Basicly know nothing about them so any ideas or hints about true antique or vintage lace or french or italian...etc The third is a placemat mad from a cotton like material and has a red paper tag hooked on the placemats with a string with chinese writing and then says "made in the peoples republic of china" any ideas of pattern names or any info on them or if they have value?
Any and all help greatly appreciated
Thanks again for your help in trying to raise the money for my mothers passing and medical bills

Thanks everyone. So does cane change the date or the possible origination of the chair? I also can not think of anyone in the family that would use IIK and it also is on the rocker on each curved rocker bottom .Also I have a rocker marked Made in yugoslavia with gold tone paintings on it anything there? I am also still researching the Stag slag lamp I posted several days ago.
Thanks again
I know allot of questions I am asking but I really do need the help. Is there anyone here who may be able to shed some light on some crystal pieces
thanks

Thanks so much, As for the mark it is on the bottom of the rocker (the slat that forms the curve to allow it to rock)

Hi everyone.
Well here I am again looking for some info. I am still trying to get some money together to pay my moms medical and funeral expenses so
We have had this rocker for quite a while originaly from my great grandfather and maybe before.
I can not make out the marks but it does look very old. Any ideas as to a maker or how old or the value here? Enough to help with a little of the expenses possible?
Any and all info and help would be greatly appreciated.
Mark looks like II K but may be MK not sure
Also not sure of the wood

My mother picked this up years ago from a eldrly lady in her 90's. I have not been able to find a mark or a maker. Any ideas? It is very heavy and the shade has blue and white stained glass.
I have no idea. If anyone knows or has an idea of age,value,maker etc I greatly appreciate it. My mother passed and we may be forced to sell it to pay for funeral expenses that we have incured and medical bills
we also some crystal to that I have no idea
thanks
